> Oldest 6 - Martley, Worcs, Richard Keene 1673
> 
> Oldest 6 on average - Worcester St. Swithun, 3 bells 1410-1430, and 
3 dated
> 1654 (average = 1537!)

York arts centre rival them:
1. 1978
2. c.1350
3. 1633
4. 15th Century
5. 1408
6. 1408 (dated)

The average is similar to 1537, although depends on how you interpret 
15th century. The old treble was seventeenth century, which would 
definitely have given an earlier average that Worcester.
